Hi Nigel,
I missed your post before my reply to Joe, so I made no mention to your
suggestion.
I have those and they are not a printer thing, they really
work low level. The list of programmers and bit oriented stuff
that was reported to work well is big and surely there are more
stuff that works that is not in the list...
Joe, take a look a check if you app is reported good:

Hi Joe
As per other replies I was going to suggest this won't work because USB
adapters are for printing only and my solution would be to buy an old 486 or
early pentium laptop and use that, I've bought several over the past few
years for really silly money on Ebay for this very reason, but I have come
across what might be a possible solution....

I can't vouch for this, just found it via Google, and although the drivers
are downloadable you need to buy the adapter and have to email for prices,
but it might be worth a try.
My preferrred solution would still be the old laptop:-)

Not sure where to ask this question but thought I would start here.
Is there a way to connect a parallel port to a computer via USB? Not a
device that shows up as 'USB Print Support' but, instead, shows up in
Device
Manager as an LPT port? I have been able to do it via PCMCIA to Parallel
Port adapters but I have never found a USB device that would do this.
My goal is to connect a parallel port chip programmer via USB but the
software only looks for LPT ports. It works with PCMCIA to parallel port
adapters but I haven't solved the puzzle yet with a USB connected device.
Thanks in advance.
Joe
